Tugrabakh is a location six km north of Gloucester - about where the railway line swings around in a large curve (see map), but between 1922 and 1965 there was a siding there - the attached clipping indicates this was paid for by the locals. I haven't been able to locate any pictures of the location that show any (previous) railway infrastructure in the area.
